It's just a big advert for Dr Richard Lord's music thingy. He's actually attempting to fuse ultrasonics in music to produce physical responses in the people who listen. http://www.infrasonicmusic.co.uk/ I doubt the link to University of Hertfordshire is anything but implied. The 'National Physical Laboratory' is a offshoot of Dr Richard Lord's infrasonic music idea. He's not affiliated with any university, but it's an interesting idea. I might be tempted to go to a concet if they hold one near me

Safe? Um, does the word 'Hindenburg' mean anything to you?

He sure does, there was a TV special on him that got dumped on DVD in the US. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0780631315/qid%3D1063019966/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/104-0502272-1760747 Plus the popular kids cartoon, Stephen Hawking and the Masters of the Universe.

I'm running it now. It's all different and strange, there is no history tab I'm starting to panic. The mouse gesture recognition is a bit odd. I'll have to get used to that.

It's funny, but in the UK this really isn't a problem. There is no prominent anti-abortion movement. Loads of the fruit loops who would rather kill researchers rather than allow a fluffy bunny to be hurt, but anti-abortion isn't really an issue. It must stem from the religious indoctranation that the US is subject to. In the UK, we have a rather feeble Church of England. They are more in the lines of bake sales and garden parties to raise money for the Church roof. I suspect that if a Church member expressed stronger opinions, they would be locked in a cellar with a cup of tea untill they calmed down a bit. Thats not to say Americans have the majority of crazy

Is this thread instigated by the crazy american who was just executed for killing a doctor to 'protect life'? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3077040.stm Mentalist.

I'm trying to figure out the Texas oil link to core sampling of Stonehenge. Or the link to Texas at all, to be honest.

They are scientists, not archeologists. Simplifying the question helps! And the Aubrey holes are just head scratchy. They were just diggin' holes, for all we know. There really isn't much funding around to re-examine the evidence collected in past digs. The answer is probably sitting in some corridor, in a plastic bag helpfully labeling it as 'stuff from hole #32'. Unless you have a link to a site that has the info stored on it, all our theorys will be clearly labeled 'crazy'.

Mmmmmmmm. Protomonkeys. We can manipulate genomes to recreate long extinct animals with increased intelligence to help us with everyday tasks. Like a protomonkey, size of your thumb, to hold your pencil (and dance and sing ) . Apparently the more mainstream view is not genetic manipulation, but augmentation. Bionic implants, bionic processes to relay information to you directly. A borg like collective information repository.

It's to do with unpaired electrons in iron, nickel, cobalt. They kind of fly around an stuff until they are made to line up, then once they line up they cause a magnetic field to develope. They are lined up by magnatisum (magic ) .There are no unpaired electrons in Copper or Silver, so they cannot form a magnetic feild.

If your looking for the alternative to rockets into space, look into the space elevator. http://flightprojects.msfc.nasa.gov/fd02_elev.html http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/technology/space_elevator_020327-1.html Once built (for a hidiously large amount of money) you could get payloads into space for a couple of thousand pounds. Plus, it looks cool.

*shudders* Just had a memory of a drunken discussion with a sober professor on Sat night. Beer an wine fuelled the debate from my side, with random quotes from Odysseus to back up sweeping declarations about the Greek influence on the Romans architectural developments within Britain. :uhh: Did manage to ask how he became a professor though. It is just a job title. Nothing special about it really.

Completely missies the point Schrodinger was trying to make about quantum theory being a bit crappy.

I found the crazy boat patent. http://totallyabsurd.com/windmillboat.htm Weeeeeeeeeeeee

Just playing Devils Advocate. But I'm really tired, so more like Devils Minion. To respond to the computor analogy, binary is binary. The theory behind modern techniques remains constant. Perhaps the theory behind homeopathic treatment still has merit. Take the reference to homeopathic treatment being a placebo, there are studies that show placebo's to have a distinctly positive effect during medical trials. While it may be pointless to replace medicine with placebo's, they are still used by Doctors to treat patients who's condition can be improved simply by them believing that the magic tonic will cure all their ills. The immune system is boosted simply by giving the patient a placebo, in effect.

I guess you mean to research it's effectiveness. It's not really research if your setting out to prove something wrong, more of a witchhunt.

As apposed to the father of medicine, Hippocrates? I think he believed in both approaches, not one exclusively.

I used to do Budo Kai quite a bit. They kept hitting me in the head though, which wasn't fun. I'm also a qualified Skiing instructor, have been since I was 13. It's funny, but that seems to impress people a bit more than the bloke who likes paintballing .

Yeh. I prefer Radiohead when they are in a Guitar mood than Metallica. They play creep, and street spirit occasionally. Then they, like, totally stuff a paintball up their noses. It's soooo cool. I love paintball. They are sooooooooo chewy and full of tasty goodness.

The Cat Flap. The written word. And genome restructuring .

N64! Goldeneye ! Best game ever make I have to say that, my flatmate at the time sold the SNES to get it. And I was on the last level of Zelda

The United Kingdom of the United States? How did you find out about our secret control methods? We are supposed to be keeping it quiet from the Colonists, they'll just get ideas above their station. I'll lose all my tea!

Funny, I'm concentrating on avoiding the Leeds Festival and all it brings with it. Keeping away from Linkin Park, Alien Ant Farm and Metallica at the cost of missing Black Rebel Motorcycle club, Primal Scream, Blur and The Streets http://www.readingfestivalonline.co.uk/ Where as traveller is going on a 6 hour trip to go dance all week. Prioritys eh? I'm off to a wedding instead.

All hail MAME32. Hurrah 478 roms sitting on my hard disk waiting for me to indulge in illicit arcade tomfoolery. Can't get the roms anymore but stuff it. I've got enough.

One of my cousins is now lecturing engineering. I guess he didn’t like doing it very much, he laid one pipeline in South America and then bummed around the world for 3 years. His last engineering job (one of only two he did) was to build a bar, and then run it. My only advice would be engineers can always get work so long as they are any good. A pal of mine is a structural engineer, and he get headhunted by a different firm each week. Mind you, it’s all about socialising to build up contacts. Anyhow, the only limitation is what you pick to specialise in, apparently. After that, once you start work somewhere (for a poor wage) you can go from job to job until you find a company you like. As for my career, I'm a business analyst, it’s not too rewarding but I get to argue with people if I’m having a bad day. I’m considering going part time and getting an archaeology degree. It all looks so much fun
